=======================
Chapter 9
The corpse on the floor before Motou was hideous. The late Solomon Mutou lay on his back stripped naked, his skin bluish gray. His neck bones were jutting out where they had been broken, and his head wastwisted completely backward, pointing wro wrong way. His face was out of view, pressed against the floor. The man lay in a frozen puddle of his own urine, the hair around his shriveled genitals spidered with frost.
Fighting a wave of nausea, Motou let his eyes fall to the victihesthest. Although Motou had stared at the symmetrical wound a dozen times on the fax, the burn was infinitely more commanding in real life. The raised, broiled flesh was perectly delineated.... the symbol flawlessly formed.
Motou wondered if the intense chill now raking through his body was the air-conditioning or his utter amazement with the significance of what he was now staring at.
Illuminati
His heart pounded as he circled the body, reading the word upside down, reaffirming the genius of the symmetry. The symbol seemed even less conceivable now that he was staring at it.
"Mr.Motou?"
Motou did not hear. He was in another world.....his world, his element, a world where history, myth, and fact collided, flooding his senses. The gears turned.
"Mr.Motou?" Hawkins eyes probed expectantly.
Motou did not look up. His dispostion now intensified, his focus total. "How much do you already know?"
"Only what I had time to read on your website. The word Illuminati means 'the enlightened ones' It is the name of some sort of ancient brotherhood."
Motou nodded. "Had you heard the name before?"
"Not until I saw it branded on Mr.Mutou."
"So you ran a web search for it?"
"Yes"
"And the word returned hundreds of references no doubt."
"Thousands," Hawkin said. "yours, however, contained references to Harvard, Oxford, a reputable publisher, as well as a list of related publications. As a scientist I have come to learn that information is only as valuable as its source. Your credentials seemed authentic."
Motou's eyes were still riveted on the body.
Hawkin said nothing more. He simply stared, apparently waiting for Motou to shed some light on the scene before them.
Motou looked up, glancing around the frozen flat. "Perhaps we should discuss this in a warmer place?"
"This room is fine." Hawkin seemed oblivious to the cold. "We'll talk here."
Motou frowned. The Illuminati history was by no means a simple one. I'll freeze to death trying to explain it. He gazed again at the brand, feeling a renewed sense of awe.
Although accounts of the Illuminati emblem were legendary seen it. Anciencumecuments, described the symbol as an ambigram--ambi meaning "both"---signifying it was legible both ways. And although ambigrams were common in crosses---the idea that a word could be crafted into an ambigram seemed utterly impossible. Modern symbologists had tried for years to forge the word "Illuminati" into a perfectly symmetrical style, but they had failed miserably. Most academics had now decided the symbols existence was a myth.
"So who are the Illuminati?" Hawkin demanded.
Yes, Motou thought, who indeed? He began his tale.
"Since the beginning of history," Motou explained, "a deep rift has existed between science and religion. Outspoken scientists like Copernicus---"
"Were murdered," Hawkin interjected. "Murdered by the church for revealing scientific truths. Religion has always persecuted science."
"Yes. But in the 1500's, a group of men in Rome fought back against the chruch. Some of Italy's most enlightened men---physicists, mathematicians, astronomers---began meeting secretly to share their concerns about the chruch's inaccurate teachings. They feared that the church's monopoly on 'truth' threatened academic enlightenment aroun the world. They founded the world's first scientific think tank, calling themselves 'the enlightened one.' "
"The Illuminati."
"Yes," Motou said. "Europeost ost learned minds.... dedicated to the quest for scientific truth."
Hawkin fell silent.
"Of course, the Illuminati were hunted ruthlessly by the Catholic Chruch. Only though rites of extreme secrecy did the scientists remain safe. Word spread through the academic underground, and the Illuminati brotherhood grew to include academics from all over Europe. The scientists met regularly in Rome at an ultrasecret lair they called the church of Illumination."
Hawkin coughed and shifted in his chair.
"Many of the Illuminati," Motou continued, "wanted to combat the chruch's tyrarny with acts of violence, but their most revered member persuaded them against it. He was a pacifist, as well as one of history's most famous scientists."
Motou was certain Hawkin would recognize the name. Even nonscientists were familar with the ill-fated astronomer who had been arrested and almost executed by the church for proclaiming that the sun and not the earth was the center of the solar system. Although his data were incontrovertible, the astronomer was severlely punished for implying that God had placed mankind somewhere other than at the center of His univerese.
"His name was Galileo Galilei," Motou said.
Hawkin looked up. "Galileo?"
"Yes. Galileo was Illuminatus. And he was also a devout catholic. He tried to soften the church's postion on science by proclaiming that science did not undermine the existence of God, but rather reinforced it. He wrote once that when he looked throught his telescope at the spinning planets, he could hear God's voice in the music of the spheres. He held that science and religion were not enemies, but rather allies---two different languages telling the same story, a story of symmetry and balance.....heaven and hell, night and day, hot and cold, God and Satan. Both science and religion rejoiced in God's symmetry....the endless contest of light and dark." Motou paused, stamping his feet to stay warm.
Hawkin simply sat in his wheelchair and stared.
"Unfortunately," Motou added, "the unification of science and religion was not what the chruch wanted."
"Of course not." Hawkin interrupted. "The union would have nullified the church's claim as the sole vessel through which man could understand God. So the church tried Galileo as a heretic, found him guilty, and put him under permanent house arrest. I am quite aware of scientific history Mr.Motou. But this was all centuries ago. What does it have to do with Solomon Mutou."
The million dollar question. Motou cut to the chase. "Galileo's arrest threw the Illuminati into upheaval. mistakes were made, and the church discovered the identities of four members whom they captured and interrogated. But the four scientists revealed nothing.... even under torture."
"Torture?"
Motou nodded. "They were branded alive. On the chest. With the symbol of a cross."
Hawkin's eyes widened, and he shot an uneasy glance at Mutou's body.
"Then the Scientists were brutally murdered, their dead bodies dropped int he streets of Rome as a warning to others thinking of joining the Illuminati. With the chruch closing in, the remaining Illuminati fled Italy."
Motoused sed to make his point. He looked directly into Hawkin's dead eyes. "The Illuminati went deep underground, where they began mixing wtih other refugee groups fleeing the Catholic purges---mystics, alchemists, occultists, Muslims, Jews. Over the years, the Illuminati began absorbing new members. A deeply anti-christian Illuminati. They grew very powerful, employing mysterious rites, deadly secrecy, vowing someday to rise again and take revenge on the catholic chruch. Their power grew to the point where the chruch considered them the single most dangerous anti-christian force on earth. The Vatican denounced the brotherhood as shaitan."
"Shaitan?"
"It's Islamic. It means 'adversary'....... God's adversary. The church chose Islam for the naecauecause it was a language they considered dirty." Motou hesitated. "Shaitan is the root of an english word...... satan."
An uneasiness arossed Hawkin's face.
Motou's voice was grim. "Mr. Hawkin, I do not know how this marking appeared on this man's chest..... or why..... but you are looking at the long-lost symbol of the world's oldest and most powerful satanic cult."

Please R&R

Me: To answer Latias gang question of how this story relates to the title Angels and Demons is very simple, it doesn't lelate to Angels and Demons but God's work or in other words the chruch vs the ancient brotherhood.
Hikari shadowcat: But we can't fully tell you how and why it releates to the title for you'll just have to read and find out.
